Only occurs while the google keyboard is open to type in the master password field. The field goes "fullscreen" with the keyboard below it and p@ssword is displayed instead of ********.

Master password is correctly hidden when viewing the login page in landscape mode.

Sounds more like a Google Keyboard bug to me. What happens on other apps that have password fields?

Tested it on multiple apps in landscape mode :

  • ProtonMail
  • Dropbox
  • Evernote
  • LastPass

Didn't encounter the bug in any of them.
In landscape mode, ProtonMail and LastPass password field behaves like bitwarden's (the field goes "fullscreen" with the keyboard below it) but password is correctly hidden.

You can view screenshots of my tests here : https://imgur.com/a/uaP3I
(except LastPass, the app blocks screenshots like bitwarden does)

Same thing happens using stock keyboard on Galaxy Note 8 on Android N. Password is visible in landscape but when rotated back to portrait password is masked

Just to add that I have just experienced this on a OnePlus 3, running BitWarden 1.18.1 (1500) and Android 7.1.1 with Gboard as the keyboard.
Signing in to evernote with the phone in landscape orientation, I have the option to either show or hide the password (the eye with a diagonal line through it).

The interesting thing about Bitwarden is that when you go landscape with the focus in the Master password field, it becomes a 'full screen' text input as described above - something I've not seen before when logging into an app. Also there is no 'eye' to click and show or hide the password.

Could it be that disabling the full screen for the Master password input when in landscape orientation would resolve this?

Bug is still present at least on Android, tested on 3 devices (Android 4, 8 and 9)
